ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Trusted paper key

Okay, imagine you have a special box and you want to keep it safe. Inside the box, there is something very important to you that you don't want anyone else to see or take away.

To keep it safe, you can lock the box with a key. But what if you lose the key? Then you won't be able to get into the box and see what's inside.

That's where a "trusted paper key" comes in handy. It's like a backup key that you write down on a piece of paper and keep it in a safe place outside of the box.

This way, if you lose your original key, you can use the trusted paper key to open the box and get to your important thing inside. It's like a safety net, so you don't have to worry about losing access to your stuff.

Just remember, the trusted paper key is very important, so you should keep it in a safe and secret place where no one else can find it.
